Google Lightboxer¹ is a Safari 5 extension that creates a Lightbox² slideshow on Google Images. Click any image and a slideshow will appear loading the full resolution images. If you don’t want to have the lightbox appear, hold command and it will be disabled temporarily.

To install:

• Download the signed extension and double click to install³

• Load Google Images and do a search.

Latest Release - v1.3

• Pulls the Google Images metadata into the colorbox so you can see it while you’re browsing more easily.

Known issues:

• Some JS errors in console. Will be resolved in future release, but they are cosmetic only.
